Marie Anderson & the Miami Herald

Marie Anderson was a groundbreaking women’s page editor at the Miami Herald in the 1950s and 1960s. She worked with some of the best women’s page journalists of the time, including Roberta Applegate, Dorothy Jurney and Marjorie Paxson. She won so many Penney-Missouri Awards, the top recognition for the sections, that she was briefly retired from the competition.

For more on Marie Anderson, read my article (along with Lance Speere) in Florida Historical Quarterly, Spring 2007.

Anderson, along with other Florida women’s page editors, can be found in my article in a 2006 South Florida History Magazine.

Marie’s papers are at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection.
